Another day, another edition of The Goalmouth — our daily podcast/email newsletter combo in partnership with Howler and the Total Soccer Show boys. On this edition, I cover a variety of topics, but the most important is obviously Petr Cech’s new product: the knitted replica of his famous scrum cap.

Petr Cech serves as a ball boy at Wimbledon after Euro 2016 elimination
The Czech Republic didn’t make it out of the group stage at Euro 2016, so Petr Cech decided to occupy his time by acting as a ball boy at Wimbledon because why not? Cech helped out friend and countryman Radek Stepanek as he practiced ahead of his opening round match against Nick Kyrgios and given the Arsenal goalkeeper’s profession, you can be sure he didn’t let a single ball get by him.
Petr Cech forms a festive band with Alexis Sanchez and Nacho Monreal
Petr Cech puts his drumming skills to good, playing a holiday medley with Santa Claus on guitar to benefit the Arsenal Foundation. But when Alexis Sanchez and Nacho Monreal enter the room, Cech puts them to work for a jam session.
Czech Republic players record Euro 2016 song with Petr Cech on drums
The Czech Republic already qualified for Euro 2016, so while other nations prepare for their qualification playoffs or do just about anything else, the Czechs are kicking out the jams.
Petr Cech might be a little obsessed with the No. 33
If you’ve seen the 2007 film The Number 23, starring Jim Carrey, then you know what a fixation on a single number can do to a person. Sadly, it appears Petr Cech’s move to Arsenal has set him down this path.
Since Wojciech Szczesny is holding onto the Arsenal No. 1 shirt with the iron grip of a toddler on a lollipop, the former Chelsea goalkeeper decided to avoid an immediate confrontation and settled on a different shirt number. One that seems to hold a prominent place in his thoughts right now…
Jose Mourinho explains Petr Cech’s move to Arsenal
Petr Cech has moved to Arsenal and, of course, this makes me sad. This makes me sad. Petr was at Chelsea for many years. We achieved great things together, but now he has decided to go to Arsenal like a top race horse suddenly deciding to pull a manure cart on a farm and people are asking why.
Petr Cech’s expert analysis of Charlie Adam’s 65-yard goal against Chelsea
Though it is fair to say that I, Petr Cech, am a goalkeeping expert, I must admit that I feel unqualified to offer an analysis of Charlie Adam’s goal against Chelsea. I say that because, unlike Tibia Cornwall, I have never conceded a 65-yard goal to Mr. Charles Adam, of all people.
It’s a bit like asking the President of the United States what it’s like to press the button that destroys the whole world in one giant nuclear explosion. He’s never done it, so he just doesn’t know. I’ve never let Charlie Adam score a goal of the season contender from inside his own half, so I have a difficult time comprehending what that level of embarrassment could be like. I can tell you what it’s like to make big saves to help Chelsea win the Champions League final, but this…I’m afraid I just can’t comprehend it.
Petr Cech consoles Harry Kane after the Capital One Cup final
“Hey, Harry, I just wanted to say that I’m sorry about all this. I know it’s tough to lose a cup final. It happens to the best of us, though. See these hands? Even though you couldn’t get a single shot past them today, others have. And when they did, I was just as upset as you are. But look at me now! I’ve won yet another trophy and I couldn’t be happier. Pretty great, isn’t it?
